Over the past week, Solana has continued to make progress on both the on-chain and off-chain fronts.
First, Circle officially deployed CCTP V2 on Solana, which is an upgraded version of their cross-chain transmission protocol, which directly achieved three things: faster USDC cross-chain speed, better contract support, and higher capital efficiency .
Let’s take a look at Solana’s new moves on the map: the Solana Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kazakhstan, marking the official launch of the first Solana Economic Zone in Central Asia. The special economic zone will become a testing ground for blockchain pilots, startup incubation, and international cooperation, integrating tokenized assets into Kazakhstan’s financial markets and laying the foundation for a blockchain-driven financial system.
At the same time, Gemini announced the launch of SOL staking services, targeting institutions, ETFs, enterprises and high-net-worth individuals. This means that Solana staking is no longer just a tool for retail investors to participate in verification, and enhances the institutional adoption rate of the Solana ecosystem.
Finally, Fiserv, a financial services giant with a value of $90 billion, announced that it will launch the stablecoin FIUSD on Solana and connect it to the 3,000 regional banking systems it serves. This cooperation marks the deep integration of traditional finance and blockchain, and Solana's high throughput and low cost characteristics have become the key to attracting traditional financial institutions .
